That's right, radioactive boars.

Who wants a glowing head to hang on their wall?

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

So, if you ate the contaminated meat, would it turn you into a boar-like human? Tusks? Thick, coarse bristles?  [popcorn]
We obviously need to conduct an experiment to test this. I suggest using Fistful as test subject [popcorn].

Hmm... sounds like we need to find some radioactive bears, as well.

I always assumed that Fistful already had tusks and bristles.  So what would this experiment prove?

At those rates, it's basically $77 per boar.

Can you make a profit at $77 per boar?

Remember to factor in all the expenses associated with roaming around in the radioactive wastelands.

How many suitcases can I take?

Are European wimmins attracted to mens that glow in the dark?

     Are the European wimmins gonna be wearing the Daisy Dukes, or is 280plus going strange on us again?

Do we get free German beer?

See - I really have considered this seriously.

stay safe.

I have a feeling that, if I ran that past my SWMBO who happens to hail from NC, she'd say something to the effect of, "What on Earth are you talking about?"
Or, she'd just shoot me for thinking about young things in Daisy Dukes.

Either of which I'd pay to see. (ok, not really on the shooting, unless she's just going to graze you.  >:D )

Last night I was giving the daughter doo doo about taking me to see a "boy band" and almost costing me my man card, she just smiled. Meanwhile momma was getting down on Kellie Pickle about having a big butt and didn't I think she had a big butt. So I said there were so many butts around to look at I never noticed Kellie's. She thought that was pretty funny.  =D

Since no one else has asked I will.  What caliber for radioactive boars?
